As CSW begins, the UK stands with the women and girls of Afghanistan. We are appalled by the intensification of the Taliban’s repression, including a new penal code which legitimises domestic violence. These horrific decrees must be reversed. Jacqui Smith at the UNSC.

Russia is trying to return us to a world of the past. A world of imperialism. A world of redrawing borders by force. A world without the United Nations Charter. We cannot allow that to happen. 🇬🇧🇺🇳 David Lammy in the UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine.

The scale of grave violations and abuses against children is shocking. The UK remains steadfast in its support for the UN Children and Armed Conflict mandate and calls on all parties to engage with the UN to end grave violations, safeguard education, and prevent sexual violence.

The IDF has killed starving Palestinian civilians trying to get aid. Settler terrorism and talk of imposing the illegal E1 settlement plan are flagrant attempts to prevent a Palestinian state. There is no justification for this. A two-state solution is the only path to peace.

The Knesset is considering legislation forbidding contact between the Israeli state and UNRWA. Without UNRWA, life-saving aid to Palestinian refugees would be severely hampered, if not impossible. We urge the Israeli Government to keep UNRWA’s ability to work untouched.

Israel has blocked aid from entering Gaza for over two months. Gazans are at risk of starvation. International law requires Israel to allow aid to get to civilians. Gaza is no exception to this rule. All European members of the Security Council call on Israel to let aid in now.

The UK is appalled by the Israeli strikes on al-Tabeen school. Palestinians have nowhere safe to turn. 86% of Gaza is under evacuation orders. Families have been repeatedly forced to move, with minimal notice given by Israel, to places that do not offer the safety they need.

The UK voted yes on today’s Security Council resolution on Gaza. The draft called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza; an immediate release of all hostages; a huge scale-up in aid access; and the protection of civilians. We will keep striving to bring this war to a close.

We strongly condemn settler violence and terror, including numerous attacks on West Bank villages over the weekend. The Israeli government must take concrete steps to prevent such actions. Its decision to expand control over the West Bank must be reversed.

🇬🇧 Fergus Eckersley addresses the Security Council in Russian: "We do not suffer from ‘Russophobia.’” “We want Russia to be a stable nation - just one that does not invade its neighbours." “We want peace in line with the UN Charter. Russia must turn off its war machine.”

“I visited Okhmatdyt Hospital last December. It had become a refuge for children injured in attacks across Ukraine.” Russia has violated the UN Charter and breached international humanitarian law. The UK will keep supporting Ukraine to defend itself from Russia’s barbaric acts.

We are deeply concerned by the recent M23 and Rwandan Defence Forces advances in eastern DRC. Their advance risks a humanitarian catastrophe in Goma, and has cost the lives of UN peacekeepers. These attacks must stop. Rwanda and DRC must return to the negotiating table.
